Welcome to the web home of the Parish Church of St John the Baptist at Adel in north Leeds. 

We are a friendly Anglican Church with parishioners of all ages attending a variety of formats of services, including very traditional services, and more contemporary formats, where we put a lot of time and effort into running a junior church. 

There is an active social side to the Parish, with regular Coffee mornings, Barbecues in the summer, walks, including Beating the Bounds (where the Parish Boundary is walked), quiz nights, barn dances and more.

Please look around this site to find out more details about our church, our services, our people, our worship and what we get up to.  And how you can get involved!

Even though our Rector has left during the summer of 2008 for Roby, Liverpool, we are well supported by retired and visiting clergy and all our services continue, including Junior Church. 

Our key regular services are: Sundays, 0800hrs Holy Communion; 1000hrs Parish Communion with Junior Church in the Old Stables during term time - except for the third Sunday in a month when the Communion is replaced with a simpler Parish Worship service; and 1830hrs Evensong.  There is a midweek service of Holy Communion on Wednesdays at 1130
